agers asks for a large membership at
one dollar each, as well as other con
' tributiohs.
Report of Secretary
As we look back over the past year's
work of the Children's Industrial Home, ■
; we And few changes and that it differs
f very little from that of former yee.rs.
Mrs. Rettew, our much-beloved presi
dent of the board of managers, has
conducted its affairs in a most efficient
manner, and the attendance of the mem
bers of the board li&ve shown great
1 interest in the work of the home.
Mrs. Leyton, the matron, directs the
! work of the assistants and the chil
dren in a very capable manner.
Mrs. Brubaker, whom the children
dearly love, continues her excellent
, work in the Sunday school.
Miss Segelbaum and her assistant
| are doing excellent work in the school
| room, having an enrollment of sixty
i seven children In the two rooms. The
1 school has had an attendance of 92
| per cent., which shows that the chll-
I dren are in excellent physical condi
; tion, and for whict we are very
j thankful. During the year two of
our oldest members were called
| home: Mrs. Lerue Lemer, for many
: years chairman.of the educational com
mittee. where she gave much of her
i strength and time, entered Into rest,
and Mrs. Charles B. Fager, one of the
| original members of the board, and for
f many years an efficient and capable
; president.
The Industrial committee report the
boys and girls doing good work,
i throughout the house. The boys have
; done much in the last year, under the
guidance of Mr. Snyder, to keep the
house in good condition: varnishing
doors, furniture anil floors; painting
! walls; reseating chairs; mending
shoes and making a few new chairs.
The older boys also give a great deal
;of help in the laundry. The girls have
a cooking class once a week. They
also assist in the kitchen and through
j out the house generally. Both boys
| and girls make their own beds and
j care for their respective dormitories,
j We cared for, on an average of nine
j ty-three children a month, the largest
! number was 101 In March. 1916, and
the smallest number eighty-one in June,
' 1916. There were admitted sixty-three
I boardfng children, and sixteen county
children, making a total of seventy
nine admissions. There were dismissed
j seventy-three children. The Associated
! Aid Societies placed thirty-four chil
| dren in private homes, which are regu
| larly inspected by them, thirty-three
! boarding children were returned to
I their parents, three county children
J were placed by the Associated Aid
Societies and one Home child was placed
! bythe chairman of the Admission
and Discharge Committee. It is with
[ much regret that 'tnany worthy and
i needy applications could not be consid
i ered for no other reason than this;
That there was no room in the Home to
| take any more children, our Home be
ing lilled to Its capacity almost con
tinuously during the entire year.
Think Many Friendn
Our many thanks are due Drs. Kune.
V. H. Fager and J. U. Fager, Jr., for
their kind services during the year.
The Needlework Guild contributed a
great many articles of clothing and bed-
I ding, which were greatly appreciated.
The donation of Easter eggs from
the public schools was very large, the
Huramelßtown and Oberlin schools also 1
! remembered us most generously.
The usual Thanksgiving donation
from the public schools was received,
! and from many friends a large supply [
| of canned fruit and jellies.
This year the Christmas donation
from many friends was the largest ever
received in the history of the Home,]
| for which we are very thankful.
1 Owing to the number of cases of in
; fantile paralysis during the summer,
; the annual outing of the children to
liershey Park was not held last year.
Our many thanks are also due to
many kind friends who contributed in
numerous ways to the welfare of our
Home and its children.
Thankful to our Heavenly Father
for His many mercies, we enter upon
another year, with unbounded faith
and love that this, His work, shall be
, a continued success."
Respectfully submitted,
MARY DUNBAR TATE,
Corresponding Secretary.

ELOQUENT TALK
ON PATRIOTISM
"America Will Lead World at
Close of War—but What
Will Lead America?"
REV. HENRT W. A. HANSON.
Never In the history of Harrisburg
Chapter, Daughters of the American
Revolution, has there been a more
enthusiastic gathering and finer pro
gram for a Washington's Birthday
celebration than that of yesterday af
ternoon in assembly hall of the Y. M.
C. A. A large portrait of the "Father
of His Country" hung back of the
platform with just below, a pedestal
draped with the American flag and
i bearing a huge white basket of calla
lilies. Flags were everywhere, and
| each guest on entering was presented
with a souvenir folder printed in col
i ors with the United States flag, the
nag of Pennsylvania and the Harris- 1
i J. 11 ."*?, Hug- on one side and the words
OL "The Star Spangled Banner" on the
reverse.
Miss Cora Lee Snyder, the Regent,
; presided, reading James Russell Low
. ell s tribute to George Washington as
part of the opening exercises. Mrs.
Mary Boyer McCrea, recording secre
tary, presented interesting minutes of
the December meeting when Jackson
Herr Boyd just returned from France
gave a talk on the American Ambu
lance Field Service in which he
served, and the chapter made a gift
ot SIOO to that fund.
The chapter went on record as will
"?vF- 1° ass ' st in any emergency In
■ which the country may become ln
-1 volved as membeis of the Red Cross
| x. o . et> * the Woman's Division for
I \var relief organization. They also
I signed a petition to State Legislature
presented by the Bradford chapter for
marking the "Susquehanna Trail," a
water route from Harrisburg to El
inira, N. Y., a historic roadway fol
lowing the trail of Captain Hartley
and his relief troops in 1778.
Beautiful music was an Important
part of the program, the patriotic
songs with Mrs. Henry F. Hershey at
j the piano were sung with fervor. A
j trio from the Camp Hill Music Club
I including Mrs. Guert W. Ensign, Mrs.
i C. W. Whitney and Miss Flora Kur
zenknabe sang delightfully, "To Thee,
O. Country," and "When Daylight
Goes, ' accompanied by Miss Franc
j Gibbs.
Mrs. George B. Landis' beautiful
! contralto voice was heard to advan
j tage in ."He Is Risen," from Sullivan's
"Light of the World," and later sirG
j gave a pretty little "Song of Washing
i ton." Mrs. Landis who came here
i from Ohio several years has studied
with some of the famous voice and
oratorio teachers of the country.
Every note Is clear, sweet and distinct
and it Is a delight to hear her. Mrs.
: Samuel D. Sansom accompanied Mrs.
Landis. The Regent showed a gavel
1 used yesterday,made of wood from the
tree to which the Indians tied John
Harris in the early settlement days.
\ olunteers from the chapter to as
sist in the Feeblemindedness exhibit
held in this city early In March, were
asked for.
\ Delegates were elected to the 26th !
i Continental Congress, held in Wash- j
ington, D. C., the week of April 15, as
follows: The Regent, Miss Snyder, al- |
ternate. Miss Helen Bruce Wallace; |
chapter delegate, Mrs. Charles J.
Wood. Jr., alternate. Mrs. Mabel Cron
ise Jones. The chapter did not indorse
| any candidate for president general,
I but is known to favor .Mrs. George
: Squires of Miehgan rather than any of
the other three candidates. The "his
torian, Mrs. Charles J. Wood, Jr., pre
sented interesting current events.
Patriotism tile Keynote
The address of the afternoon was
made by the Rev. Henry' W. A. Han-
J son, minister of the Messiah Lutheran
r*hurch. who spoke most eloquently on
I "Patriotism," receiving hearty ap
i plause throughout the talk,
j Mr. Hanson emphasized the need of
,>a bigger, broader patriotism which
would be international as well as na
! ttonal.
"America will undoubtedly lead the
world when the guns are stacked and
this hideous war comes to an end,"
he said, "but the question in my mind
i is, 'What will lead America'." Emmi
; grants are coming to us at the rate of
i a million a year; people from these
j countries now in the strife. We must
i prove ourselves big enough to pass
i over prejudice, to pity enough to for
' sot animosity."
He took his audience step by step
! through the years which made the
! America of to-day showing always the
' great part played by Pennsylvania.
"he has never failed the nation
, It was her money, her blood and her
! brains which have saved the United
j States more than and turned the
I scale," was his proud announcement.
I The "Spirit of '76," which made a
I youth of twenty cry from the scaffold,
"My only regret is that I have only
| one life to give to my country," is the
i spirit of 1917 in Dr. Hanson's opinion
| but more still is needed. America's
; first President was an Englishman, his
) right hand helpers were Frenchmen.
I Over and over again it has been the
foreigner among us who has given of
his strength, and ( .our country has j
gladly accepted. Into the great melt
ing pot of all nationalities Amer
ican patriotism should sink to rise I
again refined, stronger and bigger and i
truer as befits people of the greatest i
nation in the world.
A vein of delicious humor running
through his address relieved it of be
ing too serious yet did not detract
from Its force and power."
Tea nnd Social Hour
Following the program which closed
with singing "The Star Spangled Ban
ner," tea was served with Mrs. Wil
liam Elder Bailey, hostess. Mrs. Hen
ry MeCormlck poured v chocolate and
Mrs. George Douglass Ramsay pre
sided over the teacups. Little flags
and quaint figures decorated the table.
